Good job. There are others that aren't as fortunate. I worked my ass off since I was 14 and bought a house at 25. I make over 80k a year with no formal education. I know my situation doesn't universally apply to everyone and I'm not going to hold that against them. I will fight for everyone to have a better, easier chance at success.

Reply to comment by Alfa505 in Want growth in Erie? Cut taxes on homes and jobs, hike taxes on land instead by ToffeeFever
You probably need to put something in to protect farmland, otherwise you end up like NJ, where you can’t make a profit and have to sell it to build homes or solar farms or something that isn’t a farm.
But why do you think it hurts redevelopment?

Not all parents work full time. Some parents like my husband and I were able to work alternate schedules (I know not everyone can do that) and there are a lot of stay at home parents. Kids and parents need down time and a lot look forward to summer breaks (as do teachers, they have lives too). So while this would be nice for some, I think there are a lot more that would disagree.

I guess you don't think fathers have any responsibility in raising their children.

As a child free person, I have no problems contributing to efforts that improve our society. There are many taxes I'm opposed to paying or that dont benefit me. A better society is the least of my worries.

If you don’t mind, what do you mean by uniformly assessed?

OP did say that they have people doing research. You don't have to have all the answers on day one. Not everyone was born knowing everything. Just some of you.

"hey, I'm starting up a movement, let's get together and discuss"
"give me all the answers now. Now. NOW!"
"Hey bruh, we literally just started, we don't have all the answers yet. We have some people working on it"
"I pulled a number out my ass that is 10x higher than the real data that exists! Poor people mumble mumble mumble, amirite?"
"lol, k"
And that's your response?
You think OP should just make up phoney numbers like the commenter did, rather than conduct actual research?
Just say you don't care and keep scrolling.

yeah, but most teachers have to work a second summer job anyway till they get to the higher end of the pay scale.

Oh no. People earning minimum wage aren't paying enough taxes!
Maybe we should fix the income problems in our country?

Never had any significant issues with my portrait ID for 2 years after turning 21 in PA. However It did get looked over more closely since it was the old design, almost lost it once at a bar/restaurant in NJ at the shore, but that bouncer was being a dick lol.

Socialism for the rich, rigged Individualism for the poor.
Idk why anyone making less than ~$150k/yr votes for conservatives. Basically voting against their own interests

No you do not have to get a new license. In fact if you get a duplicate, you will likely have to carry around a second form of ID to get into bars and maybe buy alcohol in certain places.

Compared to a big city like LA, yeah it’s not that bad. But compared to what it was a few years ago, it’s getting bad

To be fair, it's WAY easier to just focus on schools like CAPA, Sci-Tech, etc. because they have so many fewer problems. /s

Just wait till you hear about ECRDA! We have all this money floating around this city and none of it seems to be going to help the people here...kinda makes a person think.

That would be ideal…go for 12 weeks with two week breaks in between terms

"Half of all Americans are too poor to pay federal taxes" is not the glowing endorsement of our tax system that you think it is.

Oh yeah, my ID usually got a longer look than most others. And more than a few jokes about still having the "baby ID"
